A/N: Hey! Thanks for choosing to read my story! Please bear with me as this is the first fan fiction for Trory I have ever written. Be kind but constructive criticism is welcome along with any ideas. Thanks people enjoy! Read Review.

Chapter 1

'This is possibly the most boring place that I have ever been to.' Thought Tristan Dugrey as he dropped his bag on the cot next to him 'How am I going to bear living here.' He looked around to see that all the cots were made neatly and in straight rows and there were guys standing around talking.

"All I have to do is behave and I'll be out of here soon," He sighed to himself as he took in his surroundings. Tristan had gotten in trouble because he was hanging out with those dorks Duncan and Bowman when they decided it would be fun to break into Bowman's Dads safe, and in doing that he had won an all expenses' paid trip to North Carolina Military Academy sounds fun huh.

His thoughts turned to the last friendly face he had seen, Rory Gilmore. A small smile spread across his face as he thought of her, he had been trying to get Rory since her first day at Chilton and she had turned him down flat. Maybe if bagboy hadn't been there he would have gotten her. 'No, what am I kidding my self the way I treat her I wouldn't blame her if she ever talked to me again all I did was taunt her.' He berated himself, but then there was that one time at the piano when they kissed and she ran off. I don't think she'll ever know how very much that had hurt him. He had never really thought much about the girls at Chilton all Barbie Dolls and always talking about hair or makeup or Justin Timberlake. But Rory, she kept to herself mostly and if she talked it was always something well thought out and smart not like the Chilton Elite. He had wanted to kiss her so much that last time he had saw her but her boyfriend had been watching and he didn't think that would go over well if he had and that would just make her made at him.

"Hey Dugrey you got a phone call." Yelled the Major out of his office. Tristan turned toward the major with a confused look on his face. "Who is it?" He asked.

"How should I know some girl."

Tristan got up and walked to the small enclosed phone booths, he wondered who it would be definitely not one of his parents, not his friends either since they could care less where he was. He picked up the phone.

"Hello?" He said with a puzzled tone into the receiver.

"Tristan?" Replied a female voice.

His heart skipped a beat as he realized who I was. How could it possibly be her, he had no idea why she would be calling him. He just slipped back into his arrogant personality "Rory Gilmore nice to hear from you. Do you miss me that much already?" He heard himself say. As soon as the words left his mouth he regretted them. She was nice enough to call him and he taunts her.

"You Tristan Dugrey are dreaming I just wanted to call and say that you are an evil spawn of satan, you realize that I had to kiss Paris because of what you did!" She ranted as she spoke to him. He could here the anger in her voice

"I didn't know you had a nickname for me Mary I am so touched," He smirked to himself as he said it.

"Tristan you are so full of you're self why can't you ever just be a little modest sometimes, I don't think that it would kill you." She sighed exasperated at the way he was acting.

"You're probably right but why should I when I know I am gorgeous and charming and that you can't resist me." He said matter of factly.

"You know what I don't even know why I try. Anyway if you decide to be civil my cell number is 695-4232. Only use it if and only if you are not going to be a jerk because I know you are capable of being nice I have seen it. I just thought you could use a friend in there."

"Why Mary I didn't know you cared so much about me. I guess I will try to be nice next time, maybe it wouldn't kill me."

"Good idea, so I guess I'll talk to you later?" She inquired.

"Yea I guess. Bye."

He hesitated and then said, "Hey Rory?"

"Yea?" she said with a puzzled note in her voice.

"Thanks for calling I really appreciate it and I am sorry for being mean to you." He paused giving her a chance to speak all the while holding his breath hoping that she wouldn't get mad at him.

"Your welcome Tristan now be a good boy so that maybe I might come and visit you sometime. I will talk to you later. Bye." And with that the line went dead and Tristan Dugrey stood stunned into silence at the chance that she was giving him. Maybe, just maybe he had a chance to make things better with Rory and if he had that chance he was sure as hell going to take it.'

He walked out of the booth and ran into someone. "Hey sorry man," he said apologetically as he put his hand on the shoulder of the guy he had bumped into.

"It's alright dude, you must be new around here my name is Robert Falconer."

"Tristan Dugrey good to meet ya." He smiled at the he seemed good natured and far from the kind of guys Tristan usually hung out with. "Would you mind showing me around I don't know about you but I am starving."

"You said it so am I hungry come with me." With that they walked towards the door.

A/N: So did you guys like it? Well anyway please review I accept all criticisms just try not to be too harsh. For a little foreshadowing the next chapter is going to be a set a little farther in the future about two months after the first chapter and Rory decides to drop by. Thanks you guys have a great day!
